The Kubik Report Victor Kubik

In 2019 the United Church of God published What Does the Bible Teach About Grace?  This was a landmark publication about a subject spanning Genesis through Revelation.   I talk about GRACE as presented in a way we had not fully discussed it before.

Steve Parker from Houston, Texas and I discuss the parable of the Prodigal Son, also called the Lost Son.  The lessons from this parable were the theme of the Young Adults Retreat in Townsend, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains.  Steve was one of the principal speakers at the event that took place May 24-27, 2024.
This parable offers more than meets the eye, with lessons for all ages about how God loves and pursues us. 
Steve Parker is a Christ-follower, husband, father of four, and soon-to-be grandfather. He serves as a Deacon in the Houston congregation of the United Church of God and is currently finishing a five-part sermon series entitled Live Valuably: Learning to Appreciate Yourself and Others as God Does. Professionally, he has been a hospice executive for nearly 23 years with sector expertise in patient experience, business development, and leadership. You can find him on social media at @storysparker where he contributes about storytelling, Biblical wisdom, and whatever book he is reading at the time.

Ken Murray and I discuss just a few of the 333 prophecies about Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.  
70 of these O.T. prophecies were fulfilled in the last week of Christ's human life.   
These prophecies are specific enough that the mathematical probability of Jesus fulfilling even a handful of them, let alone all of them, is staggeringly improbable—if not impossible.

Joseph Mughogho, who lives in Lilongwe, Malawi, has been our friend for about 11 years. He has served as an accountant for the United Church of God and is currently LifeNets Business Manager for northern Malawi. We have appreciated his professional and wise service to us all these years.  In April 2024, he and his wife were appointed as a couple to serve as Secretary General of the International Confederation of Christian Family Movements for Africa.  He will hold this position for the next five years.  The position is not full-time but will involve quite a considerable amount of travel to Zambia, Mozambique, Uganda, Cameroon, Nigeria among other places.  He will continue doing his work for LifeNets.
As a couple, they consider it an honor to serve through Family movements. The induction was conducted on 27th April 2024 in Lilongwe.  He asks for our continued prayers as they perform this task of strengthening families and marriages, vitally needed for Africa.  
In this podcast we carry on a  conversation about the importance of teaching family values.

Today's episode features Tim Pebworth, United Church of God's Chairman of the Council of Elders and Director of French Speaking areas, who speaks on the subject of Conspiracies that so many, including devout Christians, can get caught up in.A recent USA Today article quotes University of Chicago political science professors Eric Oliver and Thomas Wood as saying that in any given year, roughly half of Americans believe in at least one conspiracy theory. Given the pervasive nature of conspiracy theories, Tim Pebworth examines what the Bible says about conspiracy theories. He challenges us to think critically about what we hear and see, asking hard questions about the motivations and intentions of those who promote these alternative theories. The sermon looks at what the ancient prophet Isaiah says about conspiracy theories, the interesting linkage to the ancient and modern philosophy of Gnosticism and how to evaluate these theories in light of Biblical teachings.

My 17-year-old granddaughter, Elena Kubik, interviewed me for an 11th-grade assignment.  I just loved the job that she did and would like to share this 14-minute interview with you.
